Thank you for these links, Jazakallah.

Also adding the word “Sayyi’aat” to the list of words for ‘sin’ in the Quran that I listed in my original question (cannot edit it).

Usage of a word in it’s context determines it’s appropriate meaning. It is therefore not very productive to collect all words used to refer to a particular concept and try to define each one. It is best that you look up the meaning/explanation of verses in Al-Bayan that use the word list that you have provided.
